About this Short Film
Disability is not Inability, a 2023 short from Malawi by Fletcher Chiponda, offers a thoughtful, hopeful look at themes of ability, work and aspiration. Through its focus on sensory disability and blindness, the film examines the ambitions of young adults and the practical barriers they face in employment and media. It touches on broadcasting as a pathway and on the everyday achievements that challenge common assumptions. Presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, this piece fits the programme’s aim to highlight real talents and lived experience. The film is a quietly persuasive reminder that potential often outstrips expectation.
